Life Happens !!!!
I know, I
know you must be thinking that this is yet another same old speech about life, which
says that life is like an ice-cream and you should enjoy it before it melts or
that life is like a hour glass and you should live it to the fullest before the
time runs out and those speeches might have also included that "life is a
race!! "agar tum tezz nai bhagoge to
koi tumhe kuchal kar aage nikal jayega..."
But there's
one thing about life that it doesn't give us a do-over. You can't just go back
in time, let’s say with magic and change your past life for good, after all
'All magic comes with a price'. Yes, but you can surely learn from your
mistakes. For some, life is like a physics equation, which for some is very
easy to solve while some poor struggle with it all the time. For some, life is
like a chemical reaction gone wrong, while some perform this experiment
perfectly.
Sometimes
life gets full of those happy moments that we start to look forward to our own
happy endings, and that's when my friends, LIFE HAPPENS!!!! You can't skip it
like you do with your college lectures; you can't possibly outrun or escape it
like you try to do with your teachers, so admit it: You gotta live it!
You see, for some exceptional ones life is
like a joyful roller coaster ride, but for the remaining ones it’s like that
term they use in medicine: Perfect storm. It is that time in your life when everything that could possibly
go wrong, goes wrong.
But that's life guys; it’s like a highly
unpredictable chemical or can be called uranium actually. After all you never
know when it'll go off balance.
So my advice to you will be that life happens
when you least expect it and you just gotta take it as it comes and face
whatever the challenges life throws at you piece by piece....and maybe you’ll
score a homerun.

Love What You Do !
One
day, I asked a worker engaged in the construction of a house, '' What's going
on?''
He
backfired, ''Can't you see, we are constructing this wall?''
I
asked another worker the same question.
He
answered, ''A glorious museum is being established here. Its construction is
going on and it will be completed soon. Don't forget to visit, sir.''
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
What
difference do we find in these two answers? First one is rude and another one
is polite. This is as we say external difference or superficial difference.
However, the real difference is that, the first worker is not as dedicated to
his job as the other. First one has commercial attitude. He is doing the job
for earning money and doesn’t have any attachment with that museum.
But, another
one really loves what he does and finds happiness in building that museum.
Means, he really feels that he's doing such a job in which something glorious,
eye-catching and spectacular is going to be created. This is what we call
dedication or getting not only physically, but also mentally involved in our
work.
So, I
will not do anything only because I have been asked to do it, but
I
will do it because I love it!
